Kristian and Galen look great together onscreen not only as two gorgeous actors but chemistry wise their playful banter has always come across genuine and fun. They have comedic chops and the show does well when it highlights those attributes. I'm glad we are getting more Rafe and Hope together in the future because like Rafe with Nicole they make cute friends. Usually Rafe's scenes with both women have had comedy/snark to liven the interactions and I think it benefits all the characters. I know it makes me a happier viewer to watch solid friendship being displayed with some humor attached. I'd like too if they let these friendships stay without feeling it necessary to push them into a romantic relationship. Let them be enjoyable as is and keep writing for them.

Hope teasing Rafe about what the big event was was quite enjoyable. The show could stand to show more friendships. And all male/female friendships don't need to turn into something romantic.
